Thank goodness there are songs like this, sustaining you when you're at a loss for words.
Because they just say everything, everything.
All files deleted. Nearly done.
EXIT/DELETE music: Takagi Masakatsu lyrics & vocals: David Sylvian Feels like an ending She's winding her way towards a conclusion That never comes Caroline feels uncomfortably numb She's in deep Surrendering to the promise of sleep Almost done Caroline plays an audience of one And it isn't polite She won't even try A problem to no one A problem to none How can it be as quiet as this This close to the edge? Caroline says she's nobody's friend How can you breathe Embarrassed to be this far left of alone? Caroline knows there's nobody home It's ending Winding its way towards a conclusion Nearly done Caroline knows there's nothing to come When in doubt She wanted to get it all down in writing Didn't count Better if someone else works it out The files are deleted No resisting at all Already defeated © 2004 by David Sylvian/ Opium (Arts) Ltd.

Sad and beautiful. Song hits even more when you've felt this, but never been able to put it to words...
